[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6423427, member: 82106"] The current version in the Compendium looks like it is fully MM3-ized. Its not too bad for a level 12 elite soldier, they can pump out 2 attacks/rnd at about 20 damage per, or rend a held opponent for 40 damage (autohit, you have to be grappled already). The minor action daze could be nasty depending on the terrain. It won't beat a 9th level party, but with a bit of luck it could chew a couple surges off more than one of them before it goes down. I don't think the defenses will prove TOO hard for 9th level, not if the party has only one to focus fire on. If it lives three rounds I'll be surprised (at 248HP 80 damage per round is not unrealistic, and if the party pulls out the stops they should be able to kill it in 2 rounds). 2 of these would be a tougher fight. Probably still not a lethal encounter, but one that will bang up the PCs pretty good, again depending on the terrain. [/QUOTE]
